These were done in and around the theater...I strangely enjoy doing stealthy portraits of people in which they do not know they are being drawn, so none of these were posed or with the knowledge of the people who were being drawn. Lovely.

I have been fascinated with hair in all aspects of my artwork for a long time--it's inexplicable creepiness when not attached to the head, its longevity, its symbolism. These are drawings made just for fun, and also to help write my scene for the Apprentice Dark Night project at the theater.

Well, hello again! It’s been quite awhile, but I am back to posting. Here is a mixed bunch of drawings from sketchbooks and random pieces of paper. There are a large amount of clowns in this group of drawings...I have no explanation except the strange inclinations of my brain and fingers. A few of these feature my new-ish brush pens…they make me very happy.
